(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Jagdish,

I agree with you but thats gives progress based on duration which may not be accurate and also they are based on early dates. Hence loading costs or duration may be more accurate as Neeraj says...

On thing is very important when progressing activity in P3

Save your period performance...

Otherwise your S-Curve will only display average progress on each month instead of showing the individual monthly trend.

Dependents on the unit you use to measure, hrs, EV or $
you have to be careful when updating %, becasue P3 have a few hidden rule with the resource loading.

Let me know if you need more help on progress updating. I had written a quick guide to update schedule if you need a copy Send me your e-mail

Cheers

Alex

Dear Joseph,

Answer for your 2nd query

Make a copy of your baseline programme and update the progress using "Update progress" from Tools menu.

Then set this file as target file for your current programme file which you have been updating on weekly / monthly basis. Display Tgt % Complete & % complete which would disply your planned Progress % Vs Actual Progress %.

Hope this would be of some help.

Cheers
Jagadish

Hi Joseph,
Regarding your second question, I think this is what you are looking for.

Once you have done creating your target program and it is approved, copy it to make a current program. Update your current program every month.

Depending on what you are measuring progress against (manhour or against cost or just duration), run the tabular/graphical reports from the tools menu. There you will find both target program and current program outputs which give you planned and actual progress.

regards,

In addition, answer to your 2nd question: You need to maintain a baseline or target program in order to compare your plan vs actual. Your baseline is your original target approved program and need to save this as your target file. (do not update it). Then you need to copy the same file to a different file name and this will be your current file which you will be updating on a regular basis to see how you are progressing against your target plan.

You need to set-up your target in P3 to compare your current updated file vs your target. IF you need further details on how to set-up your target, please let me know.

Regards,
Daniel

You can not get a reliable progress percent complete unless you resource load your program. You must have a common unit of measure i.e. manhours or base on cost or better yet weightings. You can then update your monthly progress and save it every month with diferent file names so that you can compare your progress from last months progress. For example: name your project file for the January update as ??01 and February file as ??02. You can then generate your progress percent complete report either in summary bars or progress curves.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Daniel
